Animal Communicator is a good idea. MartaWilliams.com told me about
Mamie and how she came to be found alone at that golf course in
Michigan.

No, you don't get over it........at least I don't. But, hopefully,
you get to the point that you don't let the future ruin the
present. None of us know when or how we are going to die. Even
the person in a hospital who has been told he will die tomorrow may
live or die earlier. You may step in front of a car or be under a
falling airplane. Try not to obsess over it and enjoy the
present. Dixie is doing a very good job of teaching me this. I
take her to regular vets (not often, she is very healthy) and to
alternative vets (fairly regularly just to keep up her immune
system). Dixie has the opportunity to talk to some ACs I know and I
have hired Ann Baumbach to talk to her when those who know her are
too close to a situation. Yes, you worry. Then you do every thing
in your power and with her consent to keep her healthy and much
more importantly happy. Dixie is now on Primal raw food
supplemented by some very good canned foods (no grains thank you)
and home cooked meals. Believe it or not she enjoys broccoli and
carrots finely chopped and mixed with her food. I buy organic for
her whenever possible-----don't ask what I buy for me. I use Brush
Away on her teeth since FeLV can cause problems there and she does
have some. An alterative vet recommended it and all you do is put
it in their mouths. A great preventative for your dear.
Don't regret having the love of this little one or loving
her........regret that she has been exposed to FeLV but know that
it is not a death sentence. Dixie has honored me with her very
healthy and happy presence for over two years now. Soon she will
have the second anniversary of her diagnosis. Had it not been for
that she would still be living outside with the other ferals/strays/
throw-always who visit my Mom for food and shelter. The test
proved to be a blessing for me since it put her very much in my
life and perhaps for her given her circumstances then and now.
You may want to consider talking to an AC with MeMe. Explain your
fears and love to MeMe and ask her to help you live in the
present. She is picking up your anxiety and that is not good for
either of you. She needs to understand what is going on.
Blessings to you.

will exclude any of God's creatures

compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise

Subject: questions
Cassandra you and Kisa are in my thoughts and prayers.
Does the anxiety and sadness ever go away? I feel as though
I am still in shock with the diagnosis. I feel I am back to the place
I was when my 19 year old (NoNo) was failing and I would wake up
every
few hours to make sure she was ok. The feelings of impending loss
and sadness became like a low grade fever for many months. When it
became clear that she was in pain and had to cross, I was prepared
and
relieved to be free of the fear and anxiety and sadness that
became a part
of the end of her long and happy life and our infinite bond.
When I brought this kitten (MeMe) home, I was exhilarated by her
sweetness and
smitten by the antics of a young cat. It had been a long time
since someone had
propelled themselves across the room from a counter top to the
back of my neck.
She sleeps between us in the same spot that NoNo had for 19 years.
The Feline Leukemia diagnosis has brought back the sadness and
bittersweet feelings
of loss and mortality and connectedness. While I am committed to
doing whatever I can to
give her the best care and support available, will I ever be able
to hold her and kiss her
without a surge of sadness and regret and longing? Does the shock
of this disease ever move
to a place of acceptance and appreciation for the present time and
moment.
I realize that what I am asking has to do with my own
consciousness and ability to live in
the moment with gratitude that I selected this dear, sweet being
to love and care for.
She's sitting on my lap, purring and I am typing. I guess that is
an answer.
Thanks for listening.
Jane
